Autofight - if you choose a different champ it stops working

Is anyone else noticing an issue with autofight. If you start it and let it go it’s fine. But if you choose a different champ and let it go. The autofight button disables itself and if you don’t notice. Your champ dies. Looks like another bug with this update.

Same here

Actually, if auto-fight is enabled and you touch any part of the screen while the countdown is on, that disables auto-fight. So in your case I guess you chose a different champ and hit the "fight" button without realizing that it had been turned off.

I wonder if this was an intended change or a bug.

hoping it’s a bug. It happened before and was fixed. Fingers crossed.

if you change champ, the 3 second countdown should stop, as it doesn’t know whether you are done “changing champs” or whatever else you are doing touching the screen.

So change champs, you have to manually do Start Fight (are you saying you do that, but then inside the fight itself it doesn’t keep auto on ?), or just toggle Auto twice to get it back to auto-start again.

I change the champ. The 3 seconds starts. But when the fight starts autofight is not enabled. So if I don’t watch ( which defeats autofight ) my champ doesn’t fight. Dies. And I’m on the defeat screen showing no hits successfull.

The 3 second starts before you change the champ

it’s not the 3 seconds.

I just checked this myself and encountered the same issue. It used to be that when you had auto fight turned on it would start the 3 second countdown and then if you touched the screen to change your champ (or for any other reason) it would stop the countdown but keep the auto fight button lit up so when you picked the new champ and hit the button to start the fight your champ would be in auto fight mode and it would continue from there.

Now when you touch the screen to select the new champ the auto fight button gets disabled and if you were to just start the fight and put your device down as OP said you would get KO'd because your champ would just stand there. You have to reenable the auto fight now when you didn't have to previously.

This is such an annoying bug.

Like how does this happen?

And can it easily be fixed because again it is super annoying.
